Not an officially designated trailhead but heavily used one nonetheless. A smooth yet steep, punchy climb up to the Froom Connector Trail and cattle guard will get the "burn" started.
Not an ideal starting point after wet weather so always check trail status prior to riding in case the trails are under wet weather closures. There will be no signage at this location. Traversing the trails here when wet will yield some of the worst mud you will ever encounter that will not come off. This is true for the length of this Froom Connector nothern exposure. Just don't do it It's real bad for the trails!
This trail is unsanctioned.
